Shefele aka Lamb Rice Balls

This idea of mine is multicultural in that depending on what you add in terms of spices and herbs it can represent many diverse cultures.    If you've read any of my other posts you know I love taking photos of my ingredients. Photos tell a story. The story involves going to the store, buying the necessary ingredients and preparing them for a special dish. This dish was spontaneous meaning I did not know what I was going to make for dinner until I saw the lamb in the meat case.  My food stories are always serendipitous and diverse.  Two pounds of Ground Lamb  Minced green onion. Note: there is also minced shallots but I forgot to take a photo. Damn I need an assistant.  Minced garlic Chopped cilantro Toasted pine nuts Golden raisins This is where the multicultural stuff comes into play. From here you can change the ingredients to represent any culture. In my case my dish had a Moroccan flare to it. I added salt, pepper, Cinnamon, Lemon Zes
